How well does the remote maintain connectivity with the collar? Do you have to constantly link after extended periods of use?

No.....unless you leave the transmitter idle for more than a couple of minutes.....then it goes to sleep and you have to push the power on button again to start it. This can be a problem if your pup needs correction and the unit has timed out. It takes a few moments for the transmitter to turn back on again and by then it's too late to correct. That's my only gripe with this unit. As to linking....It will stay exactly as set until you change it.

Excellent question! This unique style of the remote to the collar allows to have a continuous connection. However this device is set up to where if the dog is not active in barking it will automatically set it to "sleep". The remote itself will turn it self to "sleep" as well after a few moments when not in use. (But to turn it back on you simply press down briefly the MODE button) Hope this helps!

It needs to be charged regularly and i noticed that I have to reset the collar almost every time i use it. Other than that, it has been working just fine. I am wondering if my dog will go back to old habits once i stop using the collar or will it program her not to do certain things so eventually she won't do them even when i don't use the collar. Has anyone noticed the difference with their dog's behavior when the collar is not used?

Yes, you have to push the button on the remote for the collar to do anything. It has 4 buttons, one for vibration, one for shock, one for a whistling sound and one for a small flashlight on the end. It is a decent product, just not for my stubborn determined young pit bull.

It works fine having the dogs wear both collars when they are outside. Ours have worn them for three years. Recently, we combined the radio and barrier rock transmitters on to one collar and that is working also.

I've never had a problem; it's been working consistently for me. The remote has a lot more functionality than the multifunction button on the machine. I love mine.

I'm trying to remember if it comes with one transmittor that you attach to your dogs collar, if you send me an email to porkysgirl@igmail.comI can get you connected with my connection for this door. Also, I can tell you of the troubles I've had

Not sure how old your current collar is. I had mine for around 8 years and it stopped working. May have been moisture from dog wearing it while going outside occasionally. I bought a replacement Innotek collar and the replacement collar works fine with the old zones transmitters and some newer zones transmitters.

You can buy another remote at a pet store or online. But I suggest to just get a different one altogether because from my experience I had to replace two collars because it wasn't completely water proof. It may be more expensive but deffinately worth the money

We have had the collar and remote for about 3 to 4 weeks and use it for about 4 to 5 hours a day, not always using the shock part, but the clicker more and we haven't had to change the batteries yet. Hope this helps

I have four collars which I have used for many years. I have never experienced a problem with any of them.

This is not a bark collar - you must use the remote to correct the behavior every time - the good news is after a mild shock, vibrate after is a good warning that most dogs take it as such

Both the collar and the remote are waterproof. Even if the cover comes off the charging port it's still waterproof. My dog swims with his on all the time and we've never had a problem.

Mine lasted a lot of hours. one hour every day for about a week or two. Keep in mind there is no warning when charge on collar is about to expire so be prepared.

Yes you need to use the remote. These are training collars. Once you use them the dogs will recognize bad behavior

I, too, use the tone to call my dog and he always comes running. The device does not "sleep" afer periods of inactivity. What may be happening is that the switch for a second dog may be moved. If that happens, the remote will not communicate with the collar. Because I have occasionally "pocket-stimulated" my dog, I have begun using the selector switch to make sure that I don't.

I can't answer that question I have 2 dogs with collars and I can control them from one remote
